If Your Body Could Talk She Wouldn't Say This

If your body could talk what would she say to you?

I’m sure the wouldn’t want to be covered up by the pool when she could be soaking in the sunshine

I’m sure she wouldn’t want you to stay in because you’re too nervous to go on your date when she could feel the embrace of a new hug & awkward flutters

I doubt she would want you to sit around doing nothing all day when she was built to move

I think she would encourage you to be mindful in your choices so she could function optimally

I don’t believe she’d tell you to give up all the foods, activities, or movement that brings you joy in exchange for a slightly different shaped version of her when she just wants to support you in the long run

I suspect she would be hurt by the way you speak to her in the mirror and about her to others when she doesn’t understand given all the ways she works for you

I am pretty certain she’d be quicker to turn off external sources for feedback as she craves no validation but rather respect

I assume she would be eager to rest despite you feeling like you can’t give yourself a break because of your fears when she actually knows it’s exactly what you need

I am almost positive that instead of being filled to the brim with food that she hasn’t sorted or digested in awhile she would rather have consistent variety and enjoyment of all textures, flavors, & nutrient as well as life value

I don’t think she’d tell you you suck because of the way she is shaped when her only purpose is to transport your soul through its unique human experience making cellulite, stretch marks, or a little extra fat arbitrary compared to conquering your life dreams & living out your purpose
​
If I really had to guess, I bet your body would encourage you to BUILD MORE THAN JUST A BODY by emphasizing inner work as an integral part of obtaining results since she knows peace of mind equates to a more fulfilling life through any & all goals
